Kevin was determined to get our tree over the Thanksgiving weekend, but we struck out multiple times in Charlottesville. We went to our usual spot, only to find that the Boy Scouts are not selling trees this year. Our back-up spot, Kiwanis, is also not selling trees, and neither is the Albemarle Square lot closest to our house that typically benefits Meals on Wheels. We checked out a tree lot by the mall, but the trees were 3 times as much as we usually pay for them. We remembered that we had once gotten a tree out near Barboursville from a cute little farm/market that grows their own. We had tickets later in the weekend to see a play out that way, so we decided to make an afternoon of it. The Market at Grelen did not disappoint, with a good number of nice trees at "regular" prices and a sweet atmosphere:
From there, we drove the ten minutes back to Barboursville for this year's Four County Players' Christmas Show: The Its a Wonderful Life Radio Play. We all agreed we did not enjoy this one as much as past years' shows, but it was nice to see live theater again:
